She pushed aside the curtains to view what awaited her. Frosty trees and slick roads met her; she knew it was going to be cold outside. Her outfit would start with a much needed item of which she had many. She perused her collection of scarves. They hung from handmade clothespins, painted and distressed, to give her a better way to store and see what she had to choose from.

From July 30th - August 2nd, more than a thousand people will come together to learn, network and be inspired. It's the Animal Rights 2015 National Conference, the longest-running animal rights gathering in the USA. "It's the only conference open to all points of view on achieving animal liberation."

Air plants & succulents are easy to grow and maintain.
If you are or know a plant killer, these are the kind to have in your home.
Plus, there are a multitude of fun, unique planters to house them.
Handmade & vintage are just the way to display your green thumb (or lack thereof - Ha!)

Orange has fast become one of my favorite colors. It started several years ago.
That's why I created this treasury in 2011, which shows only half of what I actually chose for it.

On July 5, 2011, I invited Etsyians to travel to the Pacific Northwest.
The journey involved artists and crafters in this fabulous region.
Sadly, the original treasury has since lost a lot of items.

But, luckily, there are still many people living in the area with handmade creations.

It's not always black and white. Sometimes, it just gray and it can be beautiful.
I chose gray for an Etsy treasury on June 1, 2011 because I believe its such a lovely color.
Or is it a "non-color"? Here is the original treasury - missing a few as happens over time.

And here is the newest treasury, inspired by this one and the color gray. Enjoy!

It was originally posted on May 26, 2011, but has since emptied of its photos.

Please donate directly, volunteer or spread their message. Any bit helps.

On January 25, 2010, I curated my first treasury on Etsy.
It was a day in my life shown in pictures of handmade or vintage items.
This is all that remains of it today.

Treasuries end up this way over time. Shops no longer sell the items or shops have closed.

I originally created this card because I am a fan of Tinkerbell.
Another was a fan, too, so her mother asked me to create cards to be used as invitations.
"This is a wonderful card for a fan of the very cute Tinkerbell."
Her cards were different. They were created using lots of pink with touches of green.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the photo of them to show you!
